The subject refers to a specific generation of a compact truck, modified to have a reduced ride height. This adjustment typically involves altering the suspension system, bringing the vehicle closer to the ground than its original factory setting. Examples of modifications can include the installation of lowering springs, drop spindles, or air suspension systems.
Modifying the suspension of this particular model year can lead to several outcomes, including aesthetic improvements, enhanced handling characteristics on paved surfaces, and a more personalized appearance. Historically, truck customization gained traction as owners sought to express individuality and improve performance aspects beyond the vehicle’s original design parameters. Lowering is often undertaken to improve aerodynamics and reduce body roll during cornering.
